About Yooka-Laylee

Yooka-Laylee is a 2017 platform game developed by Playtonic Games and published by Team17. Developed by a group of former key personnel from Rare, Yooka-Laylee is a spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie series. The game follows chameleon Yooka and bat Laylee on their quest to retrieve a magical book from an evil corporation. After years of planning to develop a new game, Playtonic Games initiated a Kickstarter campaign that attracted significant media coverage and raised a record-breaking sum of over £2 million. It was released for Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One in April 2017, Nintendo Switch in December 2017 and Amazon Luna in October 2020.
